Spring Fall 2012: The Chemical Dose Controller team is working on constructing a device which will use three lever arms with separate dose sliders that can be set by the plant operator. Using the information collected in semesters past regarding controlling and correcting for minor losses, we are testing appropriate setups including a Tee design connected to the drop tubes in order to accomodate the necessary flows of the two doses of coagulant and dose of chlorine. We are researching the parts necessary LCDC is currently ready for deployment. The team will be reviewing designs from past semesters to scale up current designs. Detailed instructions will be provided for obtaining parts, fabricating components, placing the unit in a water treatment plant, calibrating and using the unit. The aesthetics of the LCDC will also be improved. The best methods of distributing the technology will be evaluated with the goal of finding locally available alternatives. Another objective is documenting the working design so that it can be reproduced on site. |
